Brief Answer:
Plain Nyquil can be taken by you but not Nyquil-D;
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
As you have cardiac disease, you need to take other drugs with caution.
Plain Nyquil can be taken by you but not Nyquil D; Please note the difference- Nnyquil D ( not nyquil) contain psuedo ephidrene which should not be used by cardiac patients.
However, you can safely take tylenol.
if you have any doubt, please post.
all the best.
